Table 3-2 HP DDU command line options for network connect packages (continued)
Option Description
/hn <hostname> Use the specified hostname to identify the printer; for example/hn Myhostname. The hostname
cannot be longer than 255 chars and can only contain the following characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and
the dash (-).
In Dynamic mode, the HP UPD provides the ability for a user to search the network for installed
devices. This discovery process is done via an mDNS broadcast which is sent to the local sub-
network of the HP UPD only. The following are the most common reasons the devices do not
appear in the discovery window:
1. The device is not turned on or functioning properly. Try to ping the device from the PC
where the HP UPD is installed. If there is a response to the ping, continue troubleshooting.
2. The devices require the correct protocols to be enabled to respond to the mDNS
broadcasts. Enable the 9100, IPV4 broadcasts, and mDNS protocols on the devices.
3. The devices not appearing could be on a different sub-network than the device running the
HP UPD software. Ensure that the IP address for the HP UPD and the device are located
on the same sub-network.
/pn <portname> Use the specified name as the portname; for example: /pn HPPort. The portname cannot
contain spaces and cannot be longer than 128 characters.
/n “<printername>” Use the specified name as the name of the printer; for example: "HP LaserJet 8150" The
printer name must be contained in quotes, cannot be longer than 40 characters, and cannot
contain any of the following special characters: ! # , .
/d Set this printer as default.
/nd Do not set this printer as default.
/sn “<sharename>” Turn sharing on and use the specified name as the share name for the printer; for example: ”My
shared HP LaserJet 8150”. The share name must be contained in quotes, cannot be
longer than 80 characters, and cannot contain the following special characters: / \ : ; “ ? * + = < >
[ ].
/sn Turn sharing off.
